If additional septic systems will be installed on the home dairy site, it will be a requirement of the <br /> San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department to conduct a percolation test in the <br /> location of the proposed leachfield area(s). The elevation of groundwater must be determined at <br /> the time of the perc test. If groundwater is located too close to the soil surface, an engineered <br /> mound system may have to be designed. <br /> This report serves to assess the environmental impact to the soil and underlying groundwater with <br /> respect to nitrate-nitrogen loading. Although this report does not specifically address other <br /> environmental issues such as additional macro/micronutrient loading, odor, truck traffic or other <br /> factors associated with the farming operation of the dairy, it is our opinion the dairy can be <br /> operated under best management practices to mitigate environmental concerns. It must be <br /> recognized the dairy operates in a predominately agricultural region where related agricultural <br /> operations such as odors, dust, pesticide/nutrient applications and truck traffic are going to occur. <br /> V. LIMITATIONS <br /> The findings, opinions, conclusions and recommendations found in this Nitrate Loading Study are <br /> based upon information from standard analytical test procedures, contemporary scientific <br /> literature and on-site observations. The data and information contained in this report is deemed <br /> reliable by the sources from where it was obtained. <br /> The results of this study are founded on current scientific knowledge to assess factors which are <br /> extremely variable and complex and can change at any point in time. Therefore, no guarantee or <br /> warranty is expressed or implied against any type of environmental impact. <br /> We appreciate the opportunity to provide this service for you.
